My apologies for the previous typo….My aunt Barbara received her wings on Wednesday April 22nd. She made everyone she came in contact with smile. Barbara had a heart of gold and she will be missed by so many people especially her sister Mary & her sister-in-law‘s and her nieces and nephews on the Umberger side of the family. God bless you, Barbara, always remember this is temporary Until we see you again. I love you with all of my heart. Love always, Vickie Umberger Clark.
